Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority recently concluded a procurement process titled "TVCA-PROC-0532 - Zetland Carpark Operations," in the service industry category, specifically for car park management services. This process, now at the award stage, was conducted through a direct award method due to the lack of competitive tenderers, culminating with a contract awarded to VISTECH SERVICES LTD. The contracting process was expedited as the car park was becoming a liability to the authority. The project encompasses operations across multiple regions in the UK including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The contract is active from 5th December 2025 until 30th November 2026, with a potential 12-month extension, and involves a substantial value of £240,000 gross.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the facilities management and parking services industries to engage with public sector contracts. The decision to directly award the contract highlights the potential for agile, SME-sized firms like VISTECH SERVICES LTD to effectively manage and operate large-scale projects across multiple regions. Companies capable of providing end-to-end management services, especially those with experience in handling public sector car parks, would have been well-positioned for this tender. This project offers substantial business growth potential, particularly for those looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector in the UK regions involved.
